Il Porto has some of the best pizza around. It might sound like treachery to make that claim since they haven't been here long, but it easily rivals the NYC mainstays. Their delivery is terrible, but I live around the corner so it doesn't bug me. My suggestion is to just swing by for a couple of slices at lunch. read more

Love, love, love this place! The owner pays extra attention to detail & his employees follow his lead...My son has food allergies & when I make certain request its never a bother & is exact to order...the pizza it excellent as with all the other menu items I would highly recommend this place! read more

I order from here all the time! Amazing pizza and always on time. Little bit pricey but honestly worth it.

Not many places live up to the hype, especially pizza places in NYC! Everyone claims to have great pizza but, the pizza here is good! I came in to order my pizza pie to go. Once I got home and ate my pizza I was very delighted. It was still warm with my 15min drive home, the crust was just right! I was adventurous and tried a few new topics but, wasn't disappointed. Can't wait to eat more pizza here! read more

Il Porto is a terrific eatery to visit for a variety of reasons - if you are on a date (casual or more formal,) just to grab a slice of their top-notch pizza pie, or perhaps even have a beer and enjoy the convivial and spacious ambiance. I live two blocks away from Il Porto and discovered it quite by mistake. I like to take walks along the Navy Yard and the smell of delicious Italian food wafted in the air and attracted me to Il Porto while I was walking toward the Yard. The family staff, including brothers Anthony and Sal, could not be friendlier and always make it a point to talk to me despite being quite busy preparing take-out and delivery orders. I love to go in there for a slice of pizza pie, which is prepared by a wood burning oven - and this ads unique flavor and consistency to their pizza. Few pizza parlors wood-burning ovens that enhance flavor so much. If and when I ever go on my first date with somebody I certainly would choose Il Porto - either the pizza parlor side or the more formal dining area adjacent to it. The ambiance, cheer, and laid-back feel of Il Porto would be a wonderful environment for two people to get to know each other better while enjoying some of the best Italian food Brooklyn has to offer at moderate prices. read more

Snuck in dinner before the Loft Opera at the Navy Yard. Great space -- nice folks -- large varied menu. Started with a rye whiskey, then mista salad (large enough to share), then a glass of Malbec with the rugula and prosciutto pizza. Everything was great. Loved it. read more

Il Porto - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After a day a long day at work this restaurant truly hit the spot. The waitress and manager's service was attentive and helpful. The brick oven pizza was perfectly crunchy and filled with the freshest of vegetables. The cannolis were so fresh and delicious. The tiramisu was the best I have ever had. I will definitely be back. read more

Having heard about this place from friends and wanting to expand our pizza experiences in Brooklyn, we finally got around to ordering it from Seamless one night last week. We tried the traditional margarita pizza which had a flavorful sauce, fresh mozzarella, and basil on top. The crust was slightly charred in that perfect delicious way. Delivery was prompt and faster than expected and the pizza arrived hot. Prices are pretty typical for what you'd expect around here. Next time we hope to try Grandma's pizza which others tell us is fantastic! read more

Wait I'm the duke now? Well I guess after spending the entirety of this past summer here I guess I'll take my claim to royalty. But why here? Well Il Porto is one of those places that just does pizza right. I can't speak for Grimaldi's or Lombardi's or that pizza shop down the corner from your house, but I can speak for Il Porto. And what can you say? Great pizza. Fresh ingredients. Friendly faces. I sound like a marketing major. Essentially, come here for your regular slice. Come here for a grandma slice. Come here for a chicken roll (I actually didn't like the sausage roll that much, stick to the chicken or the eggplant). Get some pizza delivered (they go very far). Come sit in at the restaurant portion. You'll love it. Trust me. Tip: No credit cards unless you meet the minimum, just run to chase down next door. Or walk, that works too. read more

I have to say that I've never actually visited this restaurant but we order to go from them a lot. Their pizzas are awesome and their caesar salad is awesome as well. Grandma pie was delicious and so was the prosciutto and arugula pie. One of our favorite pizza places to order from! read more

I'm so glad I found you. You stay up late for me and deliver the best pizza akin to Grimaldi's. In my mind you are Grimaldi's younger sister. So far I have gotten their Margarita pizza with pepperoni and mushrooms, and the Grandma's Pie (how do you say no to grandmas pie?! yes I'm being nasty). Their delivery is super quick and I can't wait to try their sandwiches and salads. YUMMYYYY! read more

This has been my go-to for pizza for a decade. Excellent in every way. Always delivered hot, delicious and on time. Over the phone service is always great. read more

This place is not too far away from my job so we order dinner from here sometimes when we stay late. The food is tasty but the delivery takes at least an hour so beware of that if you are hungry. I have not been to the actual location but I hope to visit and have the pizza which always proves amazing for delivery. I ordered the salmon alla griglia and it was seasoned well and cooked perfectly it comes with a side of asparagus and a potato croquette. read more

I am a born and bred New Yorker and have been eating pizza pretty much every day for my entire life. This is by far THE BEST PIZZA IN THE WORLD!!!!!!! I travel through three boroughs as often as we can just to eat here. Any slice/pie/food (its restaurant is beautiful, with a live band) will make you think twice about ever getting pizza from anyplace else!!!!!! read more

Delicious food. My family always does take out from here we love their grandma pie. We have also dined in on numerous occasions. I personally love their chicken Parmesan and calamari. They have Exceptional service for both take out or dine in. Everyone is very sweet and accommodating. read more

Left my meal today with some questions: 1. Why did they seat us next to the ONLY OTHER TABLE IN THE PLACE with other patrons? 2. Why does my pesto fettucine taste like something out of a box? 3. Why am I paying 14 bucks for a mushroom pizza that appears to be assembled by a toddler? 4. Why is there a starring contest going on ....our table v. the waitstaff? And why do they keep coming over here, every minute, on the minute, like swooping vultures? The first time we ate here, the food was admittedly good, for the area. This is our second experience and it has seriously gone downhill. The atmosphere was tense and weird, the manager looked livid, the employees appeared outwardly scared of him, and then there was us....sitting in the sea of this awkwardness. Bummer to use up a night on a place that seemed like it could be a neighborhood stand-by. read more

AMAZING food. I had a chicken sandwich the first time and a tuna salad the second time. Both were astounding! Here is where you need improvement- the timing of creating your masterpieces. I have never waited so long to receive a meal. I feel like I am on a two hour lunch break with you. Hurry it up please! Aside from that you're perfect! read more

Oh goodness it has taken me a long time to update this but I'm glad I've made the time because these guys, THESE GUYS ARE AWESOME. Like I said previously, pre-wedding dinner thingo. All very last minute. So last minute in fact that more people showed up than we thought, including my brother with two new friends in tow, almost two hours after we first arrived. No worries said the owner- and he made room for them. This after he had already made room for an extra two of our guests who showed up at last minute. The food was terrific. The pizza was delicious, the salads were fresh and crisp. The wine flowed. It was noisy but I think our two tables make most of the ruckus. We DID pre order and then realized it was no where near enough... so they quickly re-grouped and brought out even more food for our frenzied guests. No harm, no foul. The owner hovered to make sure everything was moving smoothly. Our two waiters were helpful without getting in the way. I think there was a band. I don't know, I was so nervous I kind of blanked towards the end. Love this place. Highly recommended. read more

This is strictly a review for takeout/delivery. Consistently great pizza. Delicious sauce. Soups are great too. Delivery takes a little longer than to be desired, but that just shows how popular they are. I look forward to eating in the restaurant soon. read more

Cute little Italian place with low lighting, a view straight into the kitchen and its wood-burning oven (watch a guy spin your pizza dough!), and good service. The manager welcomed us in and set us up with a table; he chatted with us a little, and again on our way out, without being annoying; he was funny, not pushy or paying an uncomfortable amount of attention. We had a difficult time deciding on food, particularly because we were so hungry, but decided on the grandma pizza and rucola e parmigiano salad. The salad came out quickly and tasted very fresh, plus the dressing was delightful; the dish felt very healthy and light. The pizza not so much, but that's not why you're eating pizza, is it? You're eating it for the gooey cheese, the tangy sauce, the knowledge you'll eat piece after piece, failing in your attempts to eat healthier foods. Our pizza was large and rectangular with a pleasing zigzag of sauce across the top, sprinkled with whole basil leaves. Yes please. All three of us agreed without question that the pizza was great, and considering I'd had a pizza letdown that afternoon, I'd really been looking forward to some quality. My sister in-law said Il Porto would be added to their regular neighborhood rotation. read more

Long overdue review for an excellent, reliable place. I've been eating at Il Porto since my brother lived a few blocks away around five years ago. He introduced me to the pizza and cannolis, and I've never had a bad meal here since. My favorites are the Sotto Sopra and the Arugula Proscuitto (I'm blanking on the real name), and my brother loves the Brooklyn--also really good but not my favorite flavors personally. Last night I also ordered the Spanaci salad and it was quite good. But what really inspired this review was the delivery man, who told me upon arrival at my apartment that he had been cut off on his bike on the way, and had to slam on his brakes abruptly. He suggested I check the pizza to be sure that it survived--I did, and it was still beautifully assembled. The fact that he took the time to make sure my food was intact was above and beyond usual service, and I really appreciated his courtesy. Never change, Il Porto! read more

The shrimp panini is absolutely amazing! Delicious and filling. It takes a bit for the food to come out but it's well worth the wait. Only 1 time did I have a rude waitress (blonde) , but other than that everyone has always been great. read more

Finally found my delivery pizza place. Pies are large. Crust is thin. Ingredients are fresh. Prices are fair. Delivers to Brooklyn Heights. I don't know what else to say...it's just really good pizza. read more

Walked by and Was surprised next door to the pizza is a sit down restaurant which a bar and 15 tables. Breakfast Omelets were nice and fluffy. Nice menu and posted live music in evenings. read more

One of the best Italian restaurants in Brooklyn. With exquisite entree dishes and traditional style Pizza, Il Porto is undoubtedly at the top of Pizzeria/Restaurants. The two brothers and the father that run the place offer substantial service and always make you feel special and at home when you walk through the doors. read more

Il Porto is a restaurant in two parts. First is a pizza counter where you can get a standard NY slice as well as exceptional flat brick-oven style gourmet pizza. This part gets busy at lunch time serving folks from the Navy Yard and Steiner Studios. They also deliver and they are generally my go-to for pizza delivery in the neighborhood (and there is a lot of good pizza in Clinton Hill and Fort Greene). The second half is a beautiful full fledged Italian restaurant. So if you are looking at the pictures and confused about the ambience it is because there are two separate rooms. The food there is arguably the best in Clinton Hill (and that is no faint praise). Seafood pasta dishes tends to be a strength, but I've gotten some seriously impressive pork chops there as well. They sometimes have some very nice live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Pricing varies based on if you are going with entrees where you will be spending $18 to $22, normal for quality Italian, but not cheap, and you will certainly want a salad or an appetizer as well. However, the pizzas are excellent and a $22 large flat brick-oven pizza will feed two hungry dudes if you split an appetizer as well. Then it becomes a $20 meal for each of you. So you've got some options. The pizza options also helps economically feed the kids while you dine on something more sophisticated. Note that since Il Porto is one block from the BQE, you can park in the free and fairly empty parking that runs under the BQE and be one block away (as well as there often being parking out front, but there are lots of "active" business related driveways that you have to avoid on that block (though how active are they at 9 p.m. on a Friday night?)). I mention it because Il Porto is good enough to be more than just a local restaurant. It is worth traveling to from other neighborhoods and the plentiful and free parking near it makes it easy to do so. read more

Love the food and staff. You won't be disappointed with their pizzas. One of my new favorite spots. Plus love that it's byob.

Last night was my first time at Il Porto Ristorante. And I absolutely loved it. Service was great. Food was amazing. And the live music was really nice. I would most definitely recommend this place. read more

Ordered the fried Calamari and everything came out fresh and within a short time. The portions do not disappoint, there is enough to leave you with a full stomach. The decor reminds me of a traditional Italian pizzeria. When I bit into their Margarita pie I was convinced it could be a contender for one of the best slices in Brooklyn. read more

Best Italian food around! Every dish tops the one before it! Highly recommend the egg plant rollatini, caesar salad, gnocchi, broccoli rabe pasta, EVERY pizza!!! Dessert is a must here: Nutella Pizza- need I say more? The atmosphere is great, live music, great space, amazing service. Great wine options, sangria is always a good choice. Great value for a great meal, everytime you come here. Italian family owned, every meal tastes like you're in Italy. read more

Il Porto - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Yay: Super filling and yummy pizza. Boyfriend loved the bread. Hmm: Smooth tunes of easy listening hits and maybe a little bit overly-cheesy decor that doesn't quite feel like most neighborhood places but rather a place I'd find in the suburbs. Although the exposed brick walls are nice, but exposed brick walls always look nice to me. BUT, it's good. Totally good. Prices are fair. Food was tasty. I'll go again. read more

I've been enjoying Il Porto for 7 years now, back when the neighborhood had zero options for a quality sit down meal. This place has always been superb. Look for Mo, who is the host in the evenings and will always suggest an excellent wine accompaniment to your dish selection. Their salads are SUPERB, especially the signature house called Il Porto (chopped with crab and shrimp). They have a smoked tuna (tonno salad) with shaved fennel - WOW. All pizzas and bread are made fresh in the wood burning oven. The rack of lamb is succulent with an amazing red/brown garlic sauce. A++. Now they have live Jazz/blues on Thursday and Friday nights, so perfect with the doors wide open and the breeze from the water nearby (Navy Yard). This a perfect spot to have delicious Italian delights, sip wine and relax to great sounds. read more

Il Porto - Rack of lamb - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This felt like such a home-y place. So pleasant, especially when the live band came on at 7pm. As for the food, the food delivered as well as the atmosphere. We got the large margherita pizza with olives and mushrooms as additional toppings. Let me tell you, it's a solid thin crust pizza. The crust was not soggy at all, toppings were tasty and there was the right amount of toppings. Great service. Great pizza. Great atmosphere. read more

I ordered delivery from here and the pizza was amazing. I ordered the Ortolana brick oven pizza with three types of mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, and artichokes. The crust was thin, slightly charred. The toppings were juicy. The pizza didn't arrive hot, but it was flavorful and the crust was perfect. I would definitely order from here again. read more

My favorite Italian restaurant in Fort Greene/Clinton Hill. I order delivery from tis place all the time and have never been disappointed. My favorite dish is the paccheri. All of the pastas, pizza, paninis, and gelato are great and the portions are generous. Disappointed they raised the price of the Paccheri by $2. If they made it for $12 again I'd give them 5 stars. read more

For ordering an hour before kickoff on Super Bowl Sunday, I was expecting to get my food at like 8pm. But these guys delivered in LESS than half an hour after I used Seamless to order!The delivery guy was very cool, and the pizzas were hot. Ordered the Rucola (mozz., prosciutto, arugala, shaved parm) and the Al Pesto. The Rucola was a little dry, but tasty. The pesto was spot-on and quite flavorful. It occurred to me that if I put a slice of Rucola face down on a slice of the pesto, I would have the perfect pizza! It was gooood. Ingredient-wise, that could definitely be a new pie...ahem... Woodfired pizza is one of my favorites, and these guys did not disappoint. Quality ingredients, execution, and good service. read more

I walked 1.5 miles round trip to get a slice (or 2) for my lunch break. Did walking take a majority of my break? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes. I can only speak on the pizza but the regular and grandma style cheese pizzas were excellent. I recommend trying the plain cheese pizzas before loading up on all the toppings. The plain pizzas really hold up all on their own. The crust is the best part, nice and toasty without being overly crispy. I guess the only real con is its kind of far out from the subway. read more

*Il Porto* makes a great pizza. A pizza that has a own personality and that comes with fresh ingredients and good craft. I love the Margherita, i love the Brooklyn Navy Yard, i love the Grandma Pie. All of them are so distinctive and worth to be tried. *Il Porto" also delivers almost instantaneously. The first time the delivery guy didn't even found me at home as I was still walking the dog. The second time I had the impression to have just pressed on "Submit" using Seamless.com and the pizza was already there. This is not a detail. Pizza is so much better when it is still warm from the oven. And this is an Italian person speaking. Next time I will walk to their restaurant. Which is very cute. read more

I love this place! The food is amazing here. High quality and very clean. Been trying different food each time. So far I loved all them. I'm sure there's no such thing as a bad choice in terms of food at this restaurant. read more

Il Porto - Insalata di Tonno: fresh fennel, arugola, smoked tuna with lemon dressing. So good! - Pizza Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is more than just your average good pizza place. It is something special, and it stands out among the thousands of regular Italian pizza places in the city. It all comes down to flavor, really. The crust and the sauce are excellent, ant they have a good selection of exiting menu items. I had the Brooklyn pizza. It was really good. The small size is more than enough for one person, and I only finished the whole thing because I couldn't stand the thought of the last slice going to waste. It is not the best pizza I've ever had, but it's definitely well above average. 4,5/5 read more
